vfp9 brought a new property that allows us to draw all kinds of shapes, without the need of any external component, even a single windoes api call.

according to the vfp9 help, the polypoints property of the shape control "specifies an array of coordinates for creating polygon shapes using the shape control and polygon lines using the line control. read/write at design time and run time. for shape controls, polypoints creates a polygon shape."

mvp luis maria guayan from argentina already did an amazing job using the polypoints property, in 2 articles.
